The Roommate | Yeonbin

Eighteen

"Yeonjun!" Soobin ran out into the living room and lost him in the crowd. He looked around trying to find him, he knew he wouldn't outright leave, he had to be here somewhere.

He looked over at the window and saw that he was standing outside on the balcony that overlooked the city.

He walked outside and Yeonjun turned his head enough to see what it was before he turned back, his body tensed as he leaned on the railing.

"Yeonjun?...what's wrong?"

"My friends can be assholes that's what wrong. You're the only person who gets me and you don't even know me."

Soobin walked closer and touched his back, rubbing it gently.

"Hyung I do know you."

Yeonjun looked at him. "No you don't. You don't know about my past relationships, my family, why I even went to jail and the only reason I haven't told you those things is because they would jeopardize your own relationships with Kangwoo."

"Wait what?"

"I don't get why you love him." He shook his head. "He's a bad person who mistreats you and uses you when he feels like it. He hasn't called you the entire he's been away and except for last night and he was with someone else!"

Soobin just stared at him. "...he does love me."

"For fucks sake Soobin he's cheating on you!" He yelled. "He's been cheating on you for a while!"

All the color left Soobin's face as he stared at him, mouth parted and eyes wide.

"I heard what that phone call was about before he left, that day he said he'd spend time with you. He was talking to another guy, telling him to wear the outfit he likes so much, saying how he couldn't wait to fuck him hard and lick his sexy body all over. That's what he said."

Soobin didn't even know what to say, but he couldn't stop the tears from falling after Yeonjun said all those things.

Yeonjun hated seeing him cry but he needed to know. "The way he treats you is disgusting Soobin...but I...I'm sorry about all of this but what we have is good." He walked closer and wiped his face. "I love spending time with you and being with you and watching movies and cooking together and just talking after sex...I love them all. I...I love y–"

"Yeonjun." Soobin quickly interjected. "I'm sorry." He cried as he wiped his face, the tears were coming quickly. "I'm so sorry but...I just can't."

"...why?" He asked slowly as he stared at him but Soobin didn't answer. "Why Soobin?" His voice slightly louder.

"Yeonjun please understand–"

"No, no I won't because you like me. You like me Soobin, don't you? Tell me that you do, tell me that you feel the same way!" He asked almost desperately, waiting for an answer that Soobin never said.

"Damn it Soobin say something!" He yelled.

"I do just not in that way hyung."

"Bullshit!" His eyes burned with tears as he turned away from him.

"Yeonju–"

"No fuck you!" He yelled as he turned back around; his own tears finally falling. "So that's what this was? Just a sex thing for you? You just used me to get off because your sorry excuse for a boyfriend couldn't do it for you! You seek comfort in me and run back to him! Fuck you Soobin!"

"That's not fair Yeonjun you came onto me and you knew I was with Kangwoo!"

"You never stopped me I would've never taken it that far if you told me no! You begged me that night!"

Soobin couldn't deny that especially how almost every time they had sex after it was because Soobin wanted it.

"Yeonjun I...I value this relationship. I do care about you and love you as a friend but Kangwoo...he is my boyfriend. This...this was never going to work I thought you knew that!"

"Friends don't cuddle like we do, friends don't bathe each other, and friends definitely don't fuck each other!" His voice getting increasingly louder. "You only thought about yourself, you're fucking selfish Soobin. What about me? I thought we could've been closer, I thought you would want me instead!"

Soobin didn't know what to say as he stood there watching Yeonjun yelling at him with those angry tears in his eyes. Soon Yeonjun stopped yelling and couldn't help but start to tremble more, he tried to calm himself down but the damage had been done. He quickly ran back inside and Soobin could hear the sobs that finally left his lips before he closed the door behind him.

Soobin sank to the floor as he wiped his face. A million and one thoughts were going through his head but for the most part he mourned for a person he knew he had just lost. He knew Yeonjun would never forgive him and that their relationship wouldn't be anywhere close to what it had been.

He sat there for several moments before picking himself up going inside. He looked up and saw San who was having a serious conversation with Wooyoung who was sitting down and staring up at him, listening attentively and nodding every few moments. San pointed down the hall and Wooyoung stood up and left, San looked over and met eyes with Soobin almost immediately.

He waved him over and Soobin wiped his face and walked over to him.

"Yeonjun is staying here, he's drunk. I'm taking you home."

"...Yeonjun hates me."

"No he doesn't." He nodded towards the front door. "Let's talk on the ride back."

Soobin gathered his things and they left together going to San's car. They started the drive and Soobin rubbed his head.

"How could tonight go so wrong?"

"Maybe because you and Yeonjun both avoided a conversation that needed to be had." He says as they come to a light. He looks at Soobin. "He talks about you all the time y'know?"

"He does?" He couldn't hide the small smile that crept onto his face.

San laughed. "Yeah, it's annoying." His smile quickly falling. "Every chance he gets he brags about you to everyone. I wish he would just shut the fuck up about you."

Soobin laughed a little. "I didn't know."

"Yeonjun is complicated, he doesn't have too many friends so when he started hanging out with you we knew something was different. He was letting his guard down." The light turn green and he went back to driving. "He's been...betrayed a lot by people which landed him in jail in the first place and that fucked him up. Putting your trust into someone you think you know just for them to stab you in the back."

Soobin didn't say anything. He couldn't.

"Listen I don't condone cheating but you don't seem like the kind of person who does it normally. I think your boyfriend in a way pushed you to do it, that you got fed up with being neglected and under minded and you went with someone who would never do that to you. I think...in a way you already knew how you felt about Yeonjun. Friends don't look at each other the way you two do."

We all knew this was coming, they never actually talked about it until now
